How I have missed reading your words! This one made me laugh, and yet made me think as well... How often do we really think of the effect of our words and actions...

They say that if you cut onions under water you will not cry, a good gimmick but not for those that can't swim!

I couldn't resist the title.
The question is: do onions cry too? ;)

Onions are good stuff, hightly underrated... and besides, crying is good for the soul. If it weren't for onions, I may never have a good cry. --Charlie

Did you know if you keep your mouth closed...(real tight) when peeling or chopping onions...that you won't cry???? I've done it tons of times and it works for me!!! OKAY...this wasn't the point was it? hehe.... As usual...you take a subject...and write about it with such descriptive telling that it becomes a treasure along the way... cool writing. lindalaw

Although I love onions now at least cooked ones...can't stand raw ones, there was a time that I hated them.

Well, you stabbed the poor onion (oh, horrors) but at least you showed remorse by crying. Now tell the hospitalized onion you are sooooooooo sorry and you won't ever do it again (heh heh heh).
